climate justice  

Definition

  • Climate justice relates to the distribution of benefits and burdens as the climate changes. The theoretical discussion over climate justice stems primarily from the literature in environmental justice, which began in earnest during the 1980s, as political theorists and environmental activists grew concerned enough to widen the focus of environmental ethics.
